I love the movie Tangled. It is an animated film about Rapunzel...it is incredibly well done and everyone in my family has seen it numerous times. There is a particularly good scene in which Rapunzel is expressing her extreme ambivalence about having left her tower...who ever wrote this scene clearly had teen aged daughters...that whole time period for girls is best described by conflict and ambivalence...this was Tuesday for me....one minute sobbing face down in the grass saying "I have to go back I am a terrible person" the next minute swinging around a giant maple tree by my 30 foot head of hair singing "best day ever I am never going back!!!!" (You all realize this is an analogy...a metaphor...a comparison...so to speak.
My eating was a hot mess today....I didn't eat anything not on my list of acceptable food items...bu all were hastily prepared and scarfed down...I just couldn't get a handle on the day...I have not had balance in my life since starting this diet challenge and I don't have a lot of it anyway...I had my moments today...and the workout was the same. We did hang cleans...I am not yet confident with this lift. When I periodically do it correctly I love how it feels...I love the balance and technique of this move and how the weight floats up there when you do it right...(okay float is an exaggeration, but I remember this race I ran in college where I had a HUGE PR and I looked at my legs with incredulity. I couldn't believe they were running so fast...this is how I feel when that weight actually lands on my shoulders or above my head...it is awesome. I to to 85 pounds...which is just ten less than my power clean PR so I was super excited...but still, it was not comfortable.
The WOD was a different story....best.wod.ever.!We did this new move (new for me) called a burpee grinder. You do a burpee and when you jump you grab the chin up bar and do a chin up then you drop to a hang and do a straight leg raise. I loved it...every bit of it...it was followed by dumbbell snatches and devil lunges, two more of my favorite moves....I was in sweaty breathless heaven....WooHooo!!! Best Day Ever!!!!!
Sometimes life can be a big ole suck sandwich and sometimes it is perfectly paleo ice cream sundae... either way there are merits and benefits to both...I love this food challenge and really can't wait until it is over...yep...I love it and I hate it...and I hate it and I love it...and I did not bring Robyn the chocolate she was begging me for...because I am that good a friend...(actually if I can;t eat neither can she...it was more about me than her...) but she knows this...that's why we are bff's!!! Smile and nod everybody..only ten more days:)
